  1. Lepracauns in Tom Toole's field
    (adjacent to school in Askinagap)
    A man was going through Tom Toole's field one night + he met a lepracaun. He made him tell him where the money was. He stuck down a stick in the middle of the field and the man let him go + went home for the "faic" to dig for the money. When he came back there was a hundred sticks stuck down in the middle of the field + he didn't know where to dig.
